13 Fragrances Women Find Irresistible On A Man With @Monika Cioch
[0:00:00] Monika: Hmm. Interesting, because this one,
I actually am not a fan of. Antonio: To be fair, you've never smelt it
on me. Monika: Ahh. [Laughs]
Antonio: Do you feel the top is too dirty? Monika: No, I love it.
[Music] Antonio: All right, gents. In today's video,
we're going to be talking about fragrances that women love on men. And I've brought in
my friend, Monika. She's going to be going and you know giving me a little bit of feedback.
Monika, you've got an amazing channel, which I will link to down in the description of
today's video. So, guys, if you're into fragrances and you want to get, you know, a woman's opinion,
you definitely want to check out Monika. And, I like that you've been bringing your
husband lately on videos because I think he adds a lot to it. So, uh, so keep doing it.
But, Monika, thank you for being here. Monika: No problem. Thank you for having me
on this awesome channel. I'm so happy to be here and share fragrances. That's what I love
to talk about and that's what my channel is all about.
I actually prefer men's fragrances to women's fragrances a lot of the time. So, that's why
my collection of men's fragrances is huge, much bigger than my women's collection. So,
yeah, I'm excited to talk to you about my favorite fragrances today that women love
on men. Antonio: We're also going to have fun with
this video, because I'm going to be bringing up some fragrances that I think get compliments
and that a man should wear if he wants to be attractive, if he wants a woman to walk
by and say, hey, that is an amazing fragrance. And so, with that being said, let's go ahead
and dive in. Now, I'm going to bring up something this
first fragrance here. I know is not loved in the community, but I've got to bring it
up because it is just something that any guy out there can look around and he can find
it. It's from the house of Dior and that's going to be Sauvage.
Monika: Sauvage, yeah. Antonio: Now, every -- any guy that's been
to it, you know, is getting into fragrances, he knows about this one. That being said,
this thing in my opinion pulls compliments. It's something that for people, which is 99.9%
of the world's population that aren't, you know, collecting 100 bottles, they smell this
and they're like, “It smells good.” Monika: Yes, totally. I'm – I actually like
this fragrance. I think this fragrance does get a lot of hate. But, it gets compliments.
I have heard multiple times in the mall like girls just stopping by the Dior counter and
picking up Dior Sauvage and saying, “Wow! This is so good. I want my husband to smell
like this. I want my, um, my man to smell like this.”
So, it's something that, you know, it might be hated, but, yeah, women love it. And it's...
Antonio: Yeah. Monika: Simple...
Antonio; It's really hated by just I think the fragrance snobs, which is kind of, you
know, it's like, okay, I'll deal with that hate. And if you really want to change it
up, I mean, they've got -- they've got flankers, they've got variations, maybe the parfum.
Go check that out. I think it's a little bit smoother. Some people
say it doesn't last as long, but if you're not, you know, if you want to change it up
just a bit, you know, there's options, right? Monika: Yes. And I like the eau de toilette.
Actually, I find that it just projects really nice and fills...
Antonio: Yeah. You can't beat the original, right?
Monika: Hmm. It’s so good. Antonio: All right. So, what do you got on
your list? What are you going to say that, hey, every guy out there needs to be wearing
this? Monika: Okay. Let me maybe start with a designer.
You started with a designer, I'm going to start with a designer fragrance, YSL Y Eau
de Parfum. This fragrance I see your face, you're like, “Yes.”
And, I mean... Antonio: I almost -- I almost brought that
one in. Monika: Really? Yeah. This is a fragrance
that is just killer. It's got such a juicy opening. I love the apple and ginger in this
because I feel like there's loads of blue fragrances, you know.
There's like Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, but this fragrance it's different. It's got
that sweetness in there, which I find really attractive and women love...
Antonio: Do you find that it's that much different from the EDT? Because a lot of people say
the EDT weak and that this is where they nailed it?
Monika: Yes. This is strong. This is so strong that you can smell it three meters from the
person that is sitting there with this on. So, I find that this is great if you want
to smell really, really strong. So, you'll pull compliments just from the sheer factor
that you will be smelled for sure. It's not a weak fragrance and it's a great one, great
everyday compliment-getter. Women love this one.
Antonio: So, this next round, we go a little bit more niche and it's one of my personal
favorites. I've gotten compliments on it and I think it's sometimes because I just wear
it so much and I wear it with confidence. It's the perfect fragrance with a sweater
and for me, that's Parfums de Marly's, Carlisle. This is more of a winter fall, maybe cool
spring day fragrance. But for me, this – I mean, when I'm wearing a sweater, I just imagine
this fragrance. It was probably one of my -- my first Parfums de Marlys and it just
hooked into me. And for me, it's just rich, it's just deep.
It is a fragrance that I absolutely love. And I think you can get compliments wearing
it. Monika: Hmm. Interesting, because this one
I actually am not a fan of, which is good. Antonio: Yeah.
[0:05:00] Monika: For me, Layton is so much better in
terms of compliments. With Carlisle, I know you said with like this winter coziness that
it gives, but I find it a bit harsh. So, I find that you'll get compliments, but not
from everybody. There has to be that person that likes this
sort of fragrance. Whereas, with Layton for example, I think you'll get compliments 99%
of the time. Antonio: Now, to be fair, you've never smelt
it on me, so I mean... Monika: Ah. [Laughs] So, that’s probably
why. Antonio: [Laughs]
Monika: Okay. Next up, I've got a Creed fragrance, Royal Oud. This is the best Creed for me,
okay? This just Aventus has nothing on this. This is I think a fragrance that will pull
compliments because people won't expect it's a Creed fragrance, but this smells so expensive.
And you'll smell like a millionaire. That's what this fragrance smells to me like.
And it's sophisticated. This is a sophisticated compliment monster. And the spiciness, the
woodiness of this fragrance, I just love it. It's an all year round fragrance.
I don't know if you know it. Do you know... Antonio: Oh, I'm familiar. I got it. Yeah,
it's a great fragrance. Monika: You got it? Yeah.
Antonio: Yeah. And I’m going to add right onto yours and I'm going to say, you know,
yours is fine for the winter or the fall. I'm going to say this one for the summer.
Yeah. Let’s throw Creed Aventus under the bus. I mean, nothing wrong with Creed Aventus,
great fragrance. But, right here, Vetiver. You know, it's like
the original Vetiver, nobody seems to talk about this one.
Monika: Yeah. That’s true. Antonio: And if you like Vetiver, I think
this is a perfect spring summer, maybe even warm day fall fragrance that a man can wear
and just smell good. It's 40 degrees Celsius out there. This is a fragrance that is just
going to work in the hot weather. Monika: Yeah. I love Vetiver scents on men.
I think it's just so classy and gentlemanly. If you're wearing a suit or even like a summer
suit, that's just the perfect fragrance I feel like.
Antonio: All right. Monika: And Aventus is great, but you know
there's other fragrances guys that you can discover from the house of Creed.
Antonio: Now, what do you got next? Monika: Next, I've got actually an Aventus
dupe actually, Club De Nuit. Antonio: Oh, yeah, okay.
Monika: So, you know, I'm not hating too much on Aventus, I think it's a great fragrance.
But, the issues with, you know, longevity and all of that. And this is so much more
affordable and just as great of a scent. I just love this scent.
This scent is for an alpha male person that wants to be noticed when they are in a room.
And this fragrance is so strong too. So, it's great for those of you that might be on a
budget, but wants to pull compliments. Antonio: Yeah. It's like 30, 40 bucks at the
most. I mean if... Monika: Yeah. It’s so affordable.
Antonio: You look around you can find some really good deals on them.
Monika: And birch in this is so good. Like, the birch note. I'm polish and there's loads
of birch trees everywhere in Poland. It's just so woody and masculine. Oh, just so good.
Antonio: Do you feel the top is too dirty? Monika: No, I love it. I love the top. I think
it's just really attractive, really sexy, yeah.
Antonio: You know, for any guy considering, you know, CDNI, you know, I think that one
thing I – I recommend is actually do try and maybe get a sample of Aventus. Because
I do think there's a whole study on this that if you settle I think for Club de Nuit Intense
Man, but you've never tried a Aventus, I do think that maybe in the back of your mind,
you're always thinking, I wonder -- this is a clone, I wonder if it's close to the real
deal, versus I think if you own maybe even a 5 ml 10 ml sample of Aventus and then you
actually get Club de Nuit for about the same price as that sample. You'll see -- many guys
actually do prefer, you know, the clone more because like you said it's more intense, it's
stronger it lasts longer. And, you know, me, hey, I've tried the original,
but I still prefer this. And I know people that actually say that.
Monika: Yeah. That's -- I'm one of them. I don't own the original Aventus. I've tried
it multiple times, but I own this one because if I was a guy, I would buy Club de Nuit Intense
and I would wear it during the week and maybe wear Creed Aventus the weekend because I wanted
to, you know, treat myself. [Laughs] Antonio: So, up next, I've got the Code. And
let's talk about Armani Code Absolu. Now, I love the original Code and I love numbers
of the flankers. But, this one right here, it's just sweet. It's not overly sweet. You
know, I wouldn't say it's cloying, but this right here for me it's got intensity, it lasts.
This one right here, there's just something about it. I love it. And I think if I wore
this, I have yet to get a compliment. I don't wear it that often, but me – oh, well, my
wife complimented me on it, but... Monika: That's good.
Antonio: You know I try not to count -- don't count those. But, you know, it's, well, I
mean, I do if she's watching. But, no, I'm going to throw this into the mix.
Monika: Yeah. That's a good one. I, actually with Armani fragrances, do you find that some
of them can smell a bit dated or do you just love that DNA because, you know, all of them
have a similar DNA that you can smell throughout the whole line?
[0:10:08] Antonio: You know, I don't -- for me, because
I'm I guess I'm recently getting into fragrances and I -- I don't smell the DNA, even the original
Code, I think is a great fragrance. Monika: For me, it’s like probably a maybe
a six out of ten for me. Antonio: Yeah.
Monika: But, because I love the scent, I think it can get compliments. But to me, it just
smells a bit dated, a tad dated. I feel like the Profumo Code is better a bit for me. It’s
just a bit more... Antonio: Yeah.
Monika: Spicy. I just like that. Antonio: I've got that one as well and I think
it's a solid fragrance. I just want to give a little bit of love to the Absolu. But, what
do you got next, Monika? Monika: Next, let's talk about a new fragrance.
This one is Cuir Sacre from Atelier Des Ors. Very French name, so...
Antonio: Yeah. I would probably – I would – I would have butchered that name. In fact,
we’re going to have the spelling of it down in the description of today’s video. And,
you know, because, yeah, there’s no way I’ll...
Monika: It’s just, yeah. Antonio: So, what do you like about that one?
Monika: This one, I love how, again, masculine it is. It’s got the note of vetiver, which
you’ve mentioned before. It’s very gentlemanly. But, this one is a bit different. It’s very
dry, which I find quite addictive on a guy if they smell like dry spices, woody. I think
this just does it perfectly. And it smells really expensive, really sexy to me.
And, yeah, you should check it out really. It’s one of the best fragrances in my collection
at the moment. I just love it on. I would love the whole world to smell like it.
Antonio: Well, I am going to bring in another classic, a little bit, you know, from the
house Hermes, Terre d’Hermes. And this is in my opinion I think Jean- Claude Ellena
is the guy that put this one together if I’m right?
Monika: I think so. Yeah. Antonio: And I love the story behind it. And
I read about it in a book and then I guess I picked it up and I didn’t realize it was
just one of those under the radar fragrances. And, I did research on this one and, again
and again, I see women talking about how they smell this on a guy and they absolutely love
it. What I love about it is – so, in my style
channel, I talk all the time about just simply understated elegance and just the guy that
looks good, but it’s not because of one particular flashy piece. To me, this is that
type of fragrance. It’s not going to – like, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s just
something when it hits a man’s skin, he gets compliments in my opinion. What do you
think? Monika: Yes, for sure. This is so good. I
think this is a perfect classy fragrance for a gentleman. And, yeah, I would imagine it
on somebody wearing like your clothes today for example. I think that is the perfect fragrance.
It’s great for the summer or even like spring summer now. It’s just so good. I totally
agree. Next, I’ve got another designer fragrance,
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme, a fresh tobacco scent. This is your date time fragrance. This
is similar in the vein of YSL La Nuit de l’Homme for example, if you know that fragrance.
It’s sensual, it’s soft, it’s soothing. And you just can’t beat on a date in my
opinion. And it’s my favorite Dolce & Gabbana fragrance. And a little secret, I think not
many people actually wear it or know about it. They just got to Dolce & Gabbana The One
for example. Antonio: Yeah.
Monika: This one is always like hidden at the back of the shelf, but, yeah, this is
a hidden gem for sure. Antonio: I’m going to throw in one more
and, again, talk about a dated fragrance, but still, you know, I’m going to – I
got to put it on the list. And it’s because of the abs right here, maybe that’s why
like any guy that puts this on immediately gets abs like this.
Monika: Yes. Antonio: But, Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce
and I’ll also throw in as you know, you know, this one they’re basically this one
maybe smells a little bit I don’t know higher-end. Maybe it’s because you paid a lot more money
for it. Although this one isn’t cheap either and I think Montblanc has a weaker version,
which is a lot less expensive. Fierce, there’s just – maybe it’s – there’s
just something a lot of people say it’s dated, but you can’t deny like when people
smell this especially the ladies, they – they like it. And on every guy, it’s going to
smell a little bit different. Monika: Yeah. I totally agree, Abercrombie
and Fitch fragrances, they are quite affordable actually here in UK. You can get them really
cheap, but they smell really good. They just nailed that, you know, appealing mass – mass
appealing scent, I feel like. You can just go to a store and pick it up and you’ll
smell good. Antonio: And that leads to a great question.
Do you think a guy has to go with a mass appealing scent because a lot of guys they want to wear
something a little bit unique, they want to maybe wear something a little bit challenging.
Let’s say you want to wear a Chanel, you’re not in the, you know, Bleu de Chanel, great
fragrance, but you want to – you want to challenge it with a little bit of Antaeus
here. [0:15:06] Is this something that you think
a guy can wear a challenging fragrance and still get compliments?
Monika: Yes, totally. But, those compliments will be a bit more unique just like the fragrance.
But, there’s also like a strategy behind it because you can wear a fragrance that is
very unique in you and then, you’ll attract that person that is also unique and will be
compatible with you perhaps. I feel like that is a great way to look at
it. Whereas, if you want to appeal to everybody just wear something like Dior Sauvage Eau
De Toilette and then everybody will love it. But, if you’re a bit more particular of
what kind of compliment you are looking for, yeah, wear something a bit different, something
that you love so much that it will be a conversational starter for example.
Antonio: Yeah. When I think of fragrances that ladies love on a man, I think one of
the things that needs to be said and it’s not said enough in these videos is that they’re
complimenting you. They’re not really, you know, unless they’re a frog head and they
can identify what fragrance it is, most of them will like it’s something that projects
off of you and it’s because you’re open, maybe you’re smiling, you’re dressed well
and they smell it and it’s just something that is a trigger to say, “Hey. You smell
great.” But, what, you know, they may be said, I would
have liked your hat or something like that. And I do think that if you’re a guy and
you want to get compliments from the ladies, you want to, you know, have a fragrance that
the ladies are open to actually liking. A big part of it is making sure that you are
being your best self, that you are an open person, you’re somebody that is approachable.
You’re somebody that’s taking care of yourself and then the fragrances for me always
just kind of augment it. They – they allow you to kind of project a bit more to grab
a little bit more attention. Monika: Yeah. What I say always you can be
the best-dressed guy in a room, you can look amazing, have a six pack, whatever, but if
you smell bad, you won’t be attractive. Antonio: Yeah.
Monika: So, you know, all of that is great, looking great and smiling. But perfume cologne,
it’s just that last step just to make sure that, you know, in a subconscious mind of
women, I think that you think, oh, this guy has for himself, he takes care of himself,
not only how he looks, but also little details, final details that are quite important I think.
Antonio: Yeah. It’s an essential part. A lot of guys get away with simply not smelling
at all. They shower or they’re clean and they’ve got, you know, if they have any
smell at all, it would be the smell from their shampoo or the soap that they used on their
body. And I think that’s enough. And I was looking at this you’re playing
great defense there, but why not play a bit of offense to bring in into, you know, you
know, football or any of the other type of sports. When you think of that, it’s like,
you know, defensive teams, you know, they can do really well, but they rarely fully
win championships unless they have a bit of offense. And this is to me, a fragrance that
projects. We don’t have to project much. Maybe it
could be a skin scent. But, it is something when she gets up close or maybe when you walk
by, she turns her head and she notices that you’re dressed well, that you take care
of yourself. That you all of a sudden, you know, it’s a trigger, oh, he is – this
is – there’s something about this guy and that right there is the first step.
Monika: Yes, totally agree. I think you put it beautifully. I don’t know much about
sports, but, yes, I think that is just that final step that if you take, you know, wearing
a cologne and looking great and you know wearing nice clothes, that will differentiate you
from other guys that maybe skip a step here or there. You just want to always go to that,
you know, hundred percent. Antonio: Now, is there a fragrance in particular
that you love on your husband? Monika: I would say this one, the French one
here. I love it. And, also, surprisingly, I think a lot of people hate me for it, but
Office for Men. I love it. And I can smell it for always. Like for example, my husband
is gone for 12 hours, he comes back and I ask him, you smell so good, you smell so strong,
I can totally tell it projects off of him for hours. And for me, that is a very attractive
everyday scent. So, these two, I really love the smell on
my husband. Antonio: All right. There we go.
Well, gentlemen, again, if you want to check out Monika’s channel, I’ll link to it
down in the description. Monika, thank you so much for being here on
Real Men Real Style. And, guys, if you want to learn more about
fragrances, I’m going to link to some great videos down in the description
That’s it. Take care. See you guys in the next video.
Monika: Bye. Antonio: So, what video to watch next? How
about the fragrances with high sex appeal? In this video right here, guys, I break out
21 fragrances that the ladies absolutely love. Check it out, guys, and I’ll put the link
down in the description. [0:19:51] End of audio
